I have had the great good fortune to live near the mouth of the Magothy river and the greater good fortune of having "Captain Jack" for a sailing buddy many, many times. He never once failed to appreciate the beauty and special nature of where we lived when we were sailing and thereby heightened my experience and appreciation of our outings. Jack was a great neighbor and friend and will be sorely missed. He will always come to mind whenever I am lucky enough to get out on the water. Farewell Captain Jack. Be thou at peace, Rick Goodhand
